1Take v1.3.0 is Now Available!

We're excited to announce that 1Take v1.3.0 has passed App Store review and is now available for download. This release brings powerful new features for serious musicians and significant under-the-hood improvements.


What's New in v1.3.0

Recording Analysis System

Ever wondered if your recording was technically sound? Now 1Take automatically analyzes your recordings:

  • Peak & RMS levels - See your actual recording levels
  • Crest Factor - Understand your dynamic range at a glance
  • LUFS analysis - Professional loudness measurement (ITU-R BS.1770-4)
  • THD+N - Total Harmonic Distortion plus Noise evaluation
  • Background Noise - Know exactly how clean your recording environment is

Auto-Record Intelligent Calibration

Setting the right threshold for auto-record just got smarter:

  • One-tap calibration - Press the "Auto" button (formerly "Analyze")
  • Ambient noise measurement - Automatically calculates optimal threshold based on your environment
  • Hysteresis control - Prevents false triggers from transient sounds
  • Persistent settings - Your calibrated threshold saves across app launches

5-Band Parametric EQ

Upgraded from 4-band to professional-grade 5-band parametric EQ with visual feedback and draggable control points.

Sleep Prevention

Long recording session? Enable "Keep Screen On" in Recording Settings.


Under the Hood

Critical Stability Fixes

  • Long recording sessions - Fixed memory management issues causing crashes
  • Audio route changes - Better recovery when plugging/unplugging mics
  • Thread safety - Lock-free atomics for bulletproof audio processing

Performance Optimizations

  • Zero Task creation in audio callback (down from ~93/sec)
  • Swift Atomics - Eliminated NSLock from real-time audio thread
  • VU ballistics - Now computed in audio thread for zero-latency response

Simplified Markers

Based on user feedback, we've streamlined the marker system. Removed manual Good/Bad/Memo markers, kept automatic CLIP and OVER markers. Less tapping, more playing.
